Fabio Oliveira is a performer and educator with a wide variety of professional experiences as a percussionist, improviser, and conductor, working regularly in orchestral, chamber, solo, and artist accompaniment settings and navigating consistently between European classical and traditional Brazilian music. Transversing these traditions is an essential and distinctive feature of his work. As a scholar, Fabio concentrates on performance-related matters – dealing with music by Aperghis, Xenakis, and Tutschku, preparing performances with live electronics, text translation in Instrumental Musical Theatre, composer-performer collaboration, and instrument building. He's also theorized and published about traditional Brazilian Pagode Music. Dr. Oliveira has participated in recordings released on Tzadik, New World, Carrier, and Mode Records. Since 2019, Dr. Oliveira has been Director of Percussion Studies at Rowan University and a member of the PAS New Music / Research Day Committee.
